Lin Muci's eyes suddenly widened!
Her heart even trembled, and her eyes were a little lost; she felt a sense of disbelief.
The man opposite her snorted, reached out, and pushed her. He looked down at her from above, his gaze aggressive as he asked,
"You still want to deny it?"
"Whose child is in your belly, if not mine?"
"Did you sleep with other men too?"
Lin Muci felt a bit dazed.
Had he…
Brought his memories back.
Or not.
Her breathing quickened, but she remained silent for a long time.
The man opposite her, unable to get a response, seemed to be growing impatient. He raised an eyebrow slightly, then reached out and directly hooked her slender waist!
She felt her body suddenly lift into the air.
He had easily scooped her up horizontally!
He carried Lin Muci and walked forward.
She started to panic.
"I want to go home!"
The man lowered his head, his gaze fixed on her face. His fingers slowly brushed across her cheek, and then he let out a scoff.
He asked her,
"Home?"
Lin Muci nodded; she wanted to go home!
The man pursed his lips, then said,
"Where I am, that is your home."
He continued to carry her into the elevator. The middle-aged woman outside the elevator, dressed in fur, looked at him in alarm as he walked out carrying Lin Muci, who was only wearing a thin cheongsam.
The middle-aged woman braced herself and stepped forward.
Then she said softly,
"Mr. Ling... I promised her I would only serve tea..."
"I want to send her back..."
Ling Qianhe said,
"She owes a lot in breach of contract fees."
Yi Huan hesitated but still braced herself to explain.
"But..."
Ling Qianhe's dark, deep eyes gazed at the face of the woman in his arms, then he said,
"I can pay off those breach of contract fees for her."
"Shouldn't you ask her herself if she's willing to come with me?"
Sister Yi looked at Lin Muci.
Under the lights, it was a somewhat pale little face, giving a feeling of being completely devoid of color.
That slightly pale little face slowly lifted. She trembled slightly but still nodded resolutely.
She agreed.
Sister Yi let out a huge sigh of relief!
"Okay... okay."
Sister Yi quickly turned away. Ling Qianhe, holding the woman in his arms, watched the road ahead with his dark, brooding eyes as the elevator descended. He reached the underground garage and tossed her into the car.
It had started raining outside.
The heavy rain hit the car windows, making a pattering sound. He gripped the steering wheel, and within fifteen minutes, the car had driven into the underground garage of the private villa complex.
He picked her up again, looking at the bewildered woman before him. A slight smile curved his lips, revealing a hint of mocking amusement.
"What, not running anymore?"
"Not pretending?"
"What a cold and aloof goddess..."
"Don't you forget how the child in your belly came about!"
Lin Muci's face became even paler.
The man opposite her tightly grabbed her, pinching her chin.
Lin Muci met his gaze. The depths of her pupils reflected his exceptionally beautiful face. He looked down at her face from above.
Then Lin Muci heard him say,
"Do you want me to make you relive the past?"
Lin Muci's eyes widened. She tried her best to push away his chest, her voice almost forced out through gritted teeth.
"Are you crazy?"
"I'm pregnant!"
"You can get aroused... by a pregnant woman...?"
The man opposite her hooked her chin. He looked at her cold, beautiful face, the tears gradually forming in the corners of her eyes, which only added to her charm.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, her tear-filled eyes looking into his.
Then she heard the man opposite her, his voice filled with overwhelming pressure, lean close to her ear and say, word by word,
"Why not?"
She gasped. The man grabbed her wrist, and she felt a throbbing pain. He looked at her scarlet lips and said,
"You weren't like this when you were seducing me in bed."
"What a water goddess, the number one beauty in the entertainment industry, so cold and abstinent – it's nothing."
"Just a plaything waiting to be doted on..."
"What kind of pure reputation do you have?"
Lin Muci looked at him with teary eyes.
Her husband had gone mad again!
Ling Qianhe's behavior made her wonder in her heart how her current identity had offended him.
Could it be another cliché plot where she had abandoned him years ago, and he, now an accomplished film emperor, recognized her after she entered the entertainment industry?
Lin Muci almost cried for help in her heart because she knew better than anyone how wild Ling Qianhe could get in this state!
Ling Qianhe looked at her coldly and said,
"Why don't you want to abort the child in your belly?"
Lin Muci didn't know how to answer.
So, she chose to fall silent again.
Her persistent silence completely infuriated Ling Qianhe. He snorted and, without any hesitation, pulled her wrist tighter and met her gaze.
It was as if a raging fire was burning in his heart.
He looked into Lin Muci's eyes, and then she said,
"You won't have any vain hopes."
"That I will acknowledge the child in your belly, right?"
"Lin Muci, you need to understand, if I want it – there are plenty of women in this world willing to have children for me!"
"The child in your belly is nothing precious to me!"
Lin Muci bit her lip.
After a moment, she said,
"But my child is my treasure."
And, this was her and Ling Qianhe's baby!
Ling Qianhe sneered. He squeezed her chin so hard it ached, the pain gradually spreading upwards from her jaw.
The girl stubbornly refused to speak. He stared intently into her pupils, observing the stubbornness in her cool demeanor, and let out a cold laugh.
"What, you're not convinced?"
"Your child..."
"Without my seed, how could you have a child?"
Lin Muci glared at Ling Qianhe with teary eyes. Ling Qianhe raised an eyebrow. His fingertips stroked her dark, messy hair inch by inch. He seemed to lower his head, sniffing the fragrance of her hair.
Then Lin Muci heard Ling Qianhe say,
"You want this child?"
She petulantly refused to speak.
The man said,
"Beg me."
Lin Muci looked at him. He reached out and clasped her palm. His palm was scorching hot. He lowered his head, meeting her gaze. In the depths of his eyes, there was little tenderness, but rather a frenzied, bone-burning passion.
"I just love seeing you in bed."
"Seeing you utterly crushed by me!"
"Beg me."
"If you refuse, don't blame me!"
"I can watch those hungry wolves outside force you into a corner and then devour you."
Lin Muci was utterly furious.
She lowered her head and bit down hard on the back of his hand!
This scoundrel!
Did he know what he was saying! Damn it!
How could he let others covet his own wife?
This bastard!
He hasn't regained his memory yet, so his courage has grown, hasn't it!
